Who's Riding Where???

[Y-not]

SoCal, hot weather ? Lol

 

[SnakeCharmer]

I'm local... Come on over, and we'll try and talk @redwoods into something manageable.

It's already 70 here, which is about 5 degrees warmer than yesterday at this time...

I'm just gonna do the beginner's loop this morning and call it good.

 

[UPSed]

Gonna keep it flat on the Lauf around Simi. Supposed to be 98° out here today.

 

[herzalot]

I'll be riding my bike today... down to Trestles. And back. 2 m 75'

 

[Bluesrider]

Yes today seemed warmer than yesterday at 7am, that’s my start time these days and done by 9am. I really miss that June weather we had a month back.

Going to Exploration Thurs. 8:30 start. Climbing it on Ebike. All welcome.

 

[SnakeCharmer]

I rescheduled tha dentist, so I'll be there.. I never went up Exploration before.. Would be interesting to see how it is..

Of all the times I ridden it, I've only ever seen two riders climbing it. I recall chatting with one of them. He said he climbed it only on weekdays, and he would often not encounter another soul on the climb.

You mean I got it wrong? Always climb the drop first, especially when not familiar with the drop.

I rode up it once and hated it. Lots of hike a bike for me. Love coming down it though.

I climbed those east Simi trails and did the end arounds. I am slow so it takes me 60 minutes no matter if I hit it head on or go around using the southernrn routes including once on the pass road. Once. Its just magic I guess. 60 minutes up 15 minutes or less back

I personally prefer to make any ride a loop when it's possible. That way, I'm not seeing the same dirt twice.

My usual Thursday ride.
59° start temp maybe 70° at the end of the first run
I may have to do two runs and be done by 11:00.

It’s a hard climb. On mtb quite a few anaerobic spots and hike a bike. There is a lot of rideable parts too.

Chesebro tomorrow at 7:30. I have avoided the chesebro Cyn since the rains, just to much mud and water for the longest time. Suicide or Dead cow are on the list

Its moon dust season there now. Enjoy!

Going to change up my Thursday ride.
Heading up to Central Camp road at Bass Lake as far as my body can handle.
Not going down 007 this time, because I want to see what kind of elevation gain I can get on my SS.
Last weeks ride was 21/ 3655 on the beast.

Push all the way to Beasore Rd and back down. It's worth it, particularly if you're not doing 007 and are just interested in gain.

I like that. Then I can hit up Jones Store for eats.
The best burgers and pies within 200 miles. They don't take credit cards, only cash as they have done for 100 years....they open sometimes at 11 and close around 3 when they run out of food.
No reservations.

I don't do 2 days in a row rides, but Sunday and Monday are looking pretty good for me to start.

Hopefully demo forest, Santa Cruz with @ongster Saturday morning!

 

[mtbfan]

Scan - Is Demo Forest open again? Trailforks shows that it is still closed?

My go-to when I need to get back on the bike and don't want to contend with the steeps of my backyard. Now - where did I put my bike? And can anyone give me some pointers on how to make it go? I have forgotten how.

Full disclosure - my hip is a mess and I am struggling to walk without a considerable limp. I can't make the hike to my surf spot, and I certainly can't straddle a surfboard for a couple of hours. Strangely, riding a bike seems to help. So off I go!

I am going to break out the Beast and hit Bass Lake Tuesday and Thursday.

After 11 years. . . . .





I am going to ride China Peak this Saturday.
It's going to be odd not climbing to ride the downhill.
And yes @Faust29, there will be tacos there.

Grand autumn plans? The Tahoe window is wide open.

What I set out to do last week – a permutation of the Tahoe Rim Trail and the Lake Trail – is still in my craw.

A restful finish on the Lake Trail, replete with retail opportunities and some highway miles. Again I plan to cache provisions at Spooner Summit and take ≤two bivouacs.

Lapping the Lake Trail is mentally satisfying, but the east side of the lake has the more spectacular and continuous mileage. The Rim provides riotous downhills in both directions. This route includes some of the Tyrolean DH jump line. What could be better than more riding than you can possibly do in a day? I love every ride, but size does matter to me.
